The reinstatement of the permanent diaconate after the Second Vatican Council  meant that married and family men have been able to bring a new dimension to ministry, but this has been possible only with the loving support of the rest of the family.  

John's ministry which includes leading the RCIA groups and trainging the Altar Servers has been made possible thanks to his wife Maureen and their family.
